Kitchen re-organization

Look I came back in a timely manner!

Here are the pictures of the kitchen. Now I should note here that in the first picture the table in the corner is NEVER that clean. It always had stuff piled on top, underneath, and Bailey's food in front. SO it looked considerably more cluttered. Plus it is a corner table so half of it folds down and was usually in that position. It was nice because it hid everything under it, but made it look more closed off and cluttered. 

'eat in' area of kitchen - Before

eat in corner - After. That bright sun spot is the trash can. It used to be on the other side

main doorway view- after 

Doesn't he look just SO happy? Actually he started putting this together without being asked while I was still sleeping. And he wasn't really grumpy. He just doesn't smile for pictures :o/

beautiful isn't it? Although I need to find a different place for those cups on the shelf. 

Yay for a better flow to our kitchen. Now all we need to do is get new counters and cabinets. HA. Let's add that to the list... I have actually thought about painting the ones we have. A lot of people in the neighborhood do that so it is worth looking into since we absolutely cannot afford new ones. One thing we are definitely doing is getting a new faucet for the sink in March or April. Whenever we don't have to make the house payment for the month due to the refinancing. It has been dripping for a while and Paco broke the hose dealy a long time ago so that would be nice to have working again. We may very well need to get a new dishwasher as well because that doesn't drain all the way and the hinges are broken so it is super heavy and if we just drop the door and let it go it would probably break off. Sigh, home ownership...
